At school I really struggled with physics and chemistry and was much happier in Engli
18、sh Language or History classes.

Of course I knew who Marie Curie was, her great achievements, her contribution to science,
19、to medical advances and influence on the world, but other than that, I really had very little idea about her life.Shelley Emling has based this book on Marie Curies relationship with her two daughters, Irene and Eve. The book begins after the early death of Pierre Curie, when Marie is left to carry
20、on the work that they started as a couple and to bring up her two small daughters alone. Emling has concentrated her book on the communication between Marie and her daughters. She was not an overly-protective mother, nor did she hesitate to spend time away from her daughters, yet this did not weaken
21、 their relationship. Marie was a caring and loving mother, who encouraged her daughters to become individuals, to achieve what they wanted to.Marie Curie and her husband made the decision not to profit from their discoveries. It was because of this that Marie had to depend on donations to carry out
22、her work, and that she had to carry out tours of the States.I was very impressed by Emlings writing style she has told the story of three extraordinary women who were way ahead of their time in an interesting and very readable manner.1、What is the writer good at?APhysics and chemistry.BFacts, figure

ACBecause she needed money to bring up her two small daughters by herself.DBecause she decided to continue her work without money made from discoveries.

41、）Shipwrecked PrayersA voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternative but to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more po
42、werful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other mans parcel of land remained
43、 barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clot

However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boa

46、 on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesnt deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have
47、 received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do fo
